Basic fact: Alcohol does not freeze.
This frozen drink recipe is hands down the easiest drink in the world. Basically it’s freezing wine, slushing it up in a blender (if needed), and pouring it into a glass. You can mix wine with other stuff – juices, fruits, etc. The wine will not freeze, but the rest of the stuff will. Some recipes just put everything in the blender with ice cubes, but a real slushy starts with frozen wine.
Here is the original recipe I got from a Lady Luncheon in the 60’s. None of the ingredients exist now!
